West of Birchmount on Eglinton big changes but from Birchmount to Markham Road , besides a few condo's and different names on all the stores , very little has changed taal.

I know what you are saying Lone , I hung around that area in the 70's, first bottle of wine behind the beer store ,first time in a bar , the infamous Knob Hill Hotel , playing pool at Terry's billiards in the Elaine Plaza , bowling at the Knob Hill Bowl ,eating at the Red Barn , buying records at Sayvette's and Zounds and when I took this set of photo's it felt like very little has changed. But then again everything has changed that I remember.
